What is Release Please?
The release-please-action leverages conventional commit messages to determine version bumps and generate release notes automatically. This means that the version numbers and the changelog are automatically generated based on the commits since the last release.
How to Customize Release Behavior
You can further customize how the release-please-action operates by adjusting additional settings:
- uses: GoogleCloudPlatform/release-please-action@v3
with:
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
release-type: 'node'
package-name: 'example-package'
bump-minor-pre-major: true
monorepo-tags: true
changelog-types: '[{"type":"feat","section":"Features"},{"type":"fix","section":"Bug Fixes"}]'
Bump Minor Pre Major: Enables minor version bumps before reaching major versions.
Monorepo Tags: Uses for monorepo support to tag each package individually.
Changelog Types: Customizes how different types of commits are displayed in the changelog.
